This is a special edition episode, specifically designed to help you focus your heart and attention on Thankfulness and Gratefulness.

Spiritual Principle

Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. The LORD performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel. The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. ~ Psalm 103:1-13

David’s Heart of Thankfulness

In Psalm 103, David gives us a wonderful track to run on, as there are specific things for which he expresses his thankfulness.

David says …

I am thankful FIRST to God, because He is God

He is the One who CREATED me

He is the one who leads me

I am HIS possession (the sheep of His pasture

He loves me

He is ever faithful towards me

He pardons all my iniquities

Heals all my diseases

Redeems me from the pit

Crowns me with loving-kindness and compassion

Satisfies my years with good things

My youth is renewed like the eagle

He performs righteous deeds and judgments on my behalf

He is compassionate towards me

He is gracious towards me

He is slow to anger, and abounds in love

MY CHALLENGE TO YOU:

Take a few minutes each day to consider what you are thankful for.

Write it down on a list or in a journal.

If you are thankful for a person, tell them.

Thank God each day for the things you’re grateful for.

Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth. Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise; Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting; And His faithfulness to all generations. ~ Psalm 100
